I passed through some sleet at Gleneagles an hour ago

Do you know the noak pub in noak bridge lt..was that here when you lived down this way?

Bloody Hell know it well. Lived in Laindon for 4 years :laugh:

I work at barleylands. .or we are stationed there I should say..nothing to do with the garden centre place


Nice pub, we use it for Friday pints after work..

I haven't seen much (haven't even seen Bowie's :omgno:) but when you hear "Live Aid" you automatically think of Queen. :clap1:

Links in the OP. ...make your own mind up if you want.

I was only speakng to my mate Andy today he used to live in Basildon and I used to send him rent arrears leters and summons before I knew him (I worked in housing then). Met him when I moved to London and he told me he lived once in Basildon so I said where and when he said Polsteads said "wait not 14?" and he was like "yeah why?"

i was round his house like clockwork once a month serving him eviction letters but i nenver ever saw him as he always paid at the last minute :joker:

Is Polsteads just after the five bells roundabout? Down towards flange..turn up at the pub on the corner (the barge I think, boarded up n shut now)

This thread made me wonder what the line-ups actually were.

Judas Priest :conf: im sure they were good but i myself don't really know their songs that well

Queen forever and always :love:

Not Howard Jones then?

I'm sorry tibb.
 

But I just can't get over the fact most of you chose queen over u2 for the best performance during live aid.


Im very dissapointed in you all.

Where? What? When was this?

I made a poll kate, and there was cheating going on.:nono:

Bad patter imo

Oh dear.

U2 are pretty dull tbf

Do you mean "oh dear"

Or, oh dear "dear"

I mean oh dear how very dare they.

Queen (the band) is still around?

Yes Adam Labert has been the front man for like 10 years

1985

The poll was made in 2005 during live aid 2.
